(Be the visionary who produces the movie!). Get precious insights about their delivery, attitude, and improvisation, which make the fast-paced humor, dancing, and singing the trademark at Esther’s Follies. This is your chance to experience the clever minds and personalities behind what has made the magical world of Esther’s Follies so bizarrely unique in musical-comedy theater for more than 35 years. You will be inspired!

Esther’s Follies is one of Austin’s longest running musical comedy theaters. The destination party spot for fun and laughing beyond all control, Esther’s Follies follows the funny in Washington, Austin, and on the internet – with sketches, musical numbers and magical illusions! If laughter is the best medicine, Esther’s Follies can cure what ails you. Get your update on local, national and world news with a high energy Texas point of view!

“Shaun originally hails from Boston, Massachusetts. He studied theatre at Emerson College and after college hit the streets with nothing but a song in his heart and $75,000 in student loans. He’s been with Esther’s for 10 years, and also performs and teaches children’s theater at Zach Scott Theatre. His bit role in ‘Sin City’ has garnered him thousands of fan letters from across the world.”

“Originally from Dallas, Texas, Ted graduated cum laude from Southwestern University with a BFA in Theater. His work in Austin started as a company member of the Austin Shakespeare Festival and as a founding member of the Austiner Ensemble.”

So join us on Wednesday, July 8th for a fun-filled evening at Baby A’s. Network, meet like minds, have a cold margarita, some great food, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to witness the magic behind Esther’s Follies.

NOTICE: We all know traffic is horrendous, so… come early and carpool if you can. If Baby Acapulco’s parking is full, you may park at either the Capital Inn (just north of Baby A’s) for $5 or at Super 8 motel (just south of Baby A’s) for $8. Be sure to pay the desk person at either motel when you park there so your vehicle doesn’t get towed away and DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF DUMPSTERS!
